Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you)
His saying, the Exalted: [Surah al-Hujurat: 13] :- Nobility is not that a person belongs to such-and-such a tribe or such-and-such a people,Nobility is: but rather taqwa. And the nobility that is true nobility is nothing but nobility in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). A person's nobility in the eyes of his own kind is certainly nobility, and a person is praised for it if he seeks thereby the Face of Allah; but the true, beneficial nobility is nobility in the sight of Allah. By what is it achieved? By taqwa. The more a person fears Allah, the more noble he is in the sight of Allah. So if you wish to be noble in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), you must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for it is all good, all blessing, all happiness in this world and the Hereafter. [Surah Yunus: 62-63] .
How often the word taqwa reaches our ears. So what is taqwa? Is it a term that passes through the mouths and ears? No, it must be a great, honored, revered, and respected term.
Taqwa is: It is to carry out the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is taqwa. Look and see if you are carrying out the obedience of Allah? Then you are a person of taqwa. Are you disobeying? Then you are not a person of taqwa. And a person misses out on taqwa to the extent that he disobeys the command of Allah and His Messenger.
Taqwa, then, is: Obedience to Allah is doing what He commands and avoiding what He forbids. So if we see a person who goes to the mosque and prays with the congregation, and he is humble in his prayer and performs it with all its virtues, and another who does the opposite, praying in his home and limiting his prayer to the obligatory acts, which of them is more righteous before Allah? The first one is more righteous.
Therefore: He is closer to Allah, even if he is a freed slave or the freed slave of a freed slave, and the other is of the highest lineage among people. The one who is more righteous before Allah is the most noble in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Every person loves to be favored by the ruler in this world and to be the closest person to him. So why do we not love to be the closest people to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the most noble in His sight? The matter is a matter of desire and Satan, otherwise the situation would be clear.
You must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to attain nobility in the sight of Allah.
We seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him.

إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ(62) Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve (63) Those who believed and were fearing Allah
أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ * الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَHow often the word taqwa reaches our ears. So what is taqwa? Is it a term that passes through the mouths and ears? No, it must be a great, honored, revered, and respected term.
